So it seems that Rose McGowan is now tripling down on her little TERF behaviour with that transphobic and somewhat anti-WOC speech a couple of days ago that has seen her completely disavowed by other groups (and rightly so), with her only supporters now being TERFs and MRAs like Paul Joseph Watson.

Men are trash. The end.

It was her gig, her stunt and and if JT had come forth like a white knight in shining armor to shield this totally independent in control strong as hell black woman who needed no man even more damage would have been done to the persona that Janet had marketed for 2 decades.

Racism = prejudice + power. In the U.S. , Asians lack systematic power. Therefore, they can’t be racist. It’s pretty simple really.

Umm racism is prejudice + power. Educate yourself and read a book on systematic racism before commenting on matters you don’t know about.

It’s fucked up that Justin Timberlake is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show after playing the active role in the Nipplegate scandal that effectively ended Janet Jackson’s commercial viability.

Is Justin really supposed to be responsible for how people react to a rehearsed and pre-planned performance act? I don’t believe so. This event would have been a much less controversial without the reaction of the puritanical that roam among us.

It’s a great article overall but you definitely need to exchange the word “racist” to “prejudice” because PoC can’t be racist, even to each other. Chinese people aren’t privileged in this country and lack institutional power.

Not telling a guy he has a kid for 15 years is funny because female empowerment.

Uhm...isn’t that exactly what every racist and chauvinist has ever used in the defense of exclusive country clubs and discriminatory establishments?

except the exact opposite is going to happen. people are not logical, that was the greatest fallacy of the European Enlightenment. you can’t force people to be empathetic and using this as an attempt to start a conversation is kind of like kicking someone in the stomach to talk about the need for self defense classes.

this is really stupid. first, i bet the owners think this is really cute and progressive. its about as progressive as the dead corpse of feminism sinking fast to the bottom of the well (i don’t think feminism is dead just a good image to me). alienating men who don’t fully understand how sexism works and getting in…

Queer Australian mixed race woman here - I would not set foot in this place even if you paid me. Ridiculous gimmicks like this piss me off no end.

I don’t think there’s anyone here with the mental capacity to understand your point. Most of these people are middle class white women who have never experienced and have no concept of what real oppression is.

YES. Spot on. This reads like a huge marketing gimmick based on current outrage trend with no real research behind it.

Seems fair enough. I’m assuming that people of color don’t have to pay at all right? To bring attention to that wage gap as well? No? Why am I not surprised?

Alright, I’ve kept my mouth shut reading these comments but you using the word empathy triggered (heh) a response. I’m not attacking you but just out of sheer curiosity, do you figure that black / latino men are beholden to this stunt? Do white women have a pay their own tax since they are certainly paid more than the…

hey, stfu, men bad.

Eh, I don’t go to coffee shops. I use K-Cups like a goddamn barbarian. I just think it’s a real head-scratcher of a marketing gimmick if that’s what it is.

In order to combat the gender wage gap, you’re attacking men who want to buy coffee... Sorry but I don’t really think that’s going to accomplish anything.
